Situated in a private wood-panelled dining room, Lutyens Grill was once used as the former Bank Manager’s office.

The restaurant’s aesthetic is influenced by 1920’s gentleman’s clubs, with lighting inspired by an original Edwyn Lutyens design (‘Cardinal Hat’ lights) and a restored parquet floor. Comfy chesterfields are given a modern twist, reupholstered in a custom silk from Gainsborough.

The 252-bedroom The Ned opened in London in May this year by Soho House Group and New York’s Sydell Group, following a multi-million pound transformation of the former Midland Bank in the city.
